The posting

Minimum qualifications:

  • PhD degree in Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Experience contributing to research communities or efforts, including publishing papers at conferences (e.g., NeurIPS, CoRL, ICML, ICLR).
  • Experience working with simulators and robots.

  • Experience in robot manipulation.
  • Experience with Python programming.

About the job

We believe there are many problems in the world in which robotics could play a significant role in making it easier, faster and safer for people to get things done. We’re looking for roboticists, designers, hardware and software engineers to help us explore these possibilities, develop breakthrough technologies, and build new products that could help millions of people.

At DeepMind Robotics, we are pioneering the integration of AI into the physical world to power an era of physical agents. By enabling robots to perceive, plan, think, use tools, and act, we empower them to solve increasingly tasks.

In this role, you will focus on building foundation models, such as advanced vision-language-action (VLA) models, which combine Gemini’s world understanding with physical actions to provide direct robotic control. These include Gemini Robotics, our most advanced Gemini model for the physical world, and Gemini Robotics On-Device, our fastest Gemini model that functions without a data network.

These models allow robots to perform a broad range of tasks, respond interactively to their environment, achieve high dexterity, and reason over long, multi-step sequences. Beyond model building, we are committed to advancing general-purpose robotics, specifically in areas like agentic reasoning, real-world understanding, action generalization, human-robot interaction, dexterity, whole-body control, and continual learning. To deploy these innovations at scale, you will partner with key robotics companies to bring this intelligence to the physical world across a broad array of applications.

Artificial intelligence will be one of humanity’s most transformative inventions. At Google DeepMind, we are a pioneering AI lab with exceptional interdisciplinary teams focused on advancing AI development to solve complex global challenges and accelerate high-quality product innovation for billions of users. We use our technologies for widespread public benefit and scientific discovery, ensuring safety and ethics are always our highest priority.

We are pushing the boundaries across multiple domains. Our global teams offer diverse learning opportunities and varied career pathways for those driven to achieve exceptional results through collective effort.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.

Responsibilities

  • Design, implement, train, and evaluate large models and algorithms for robotic agents to make breakthroughs and unlock new robot capabilities.
  • Write software to implement research ideas and iterate quickly.
  • Participate in a wide variety of research, including learning from simulation, reinforcement learning, learning from demonstrations, vision-language-action (VLA) models, transformers, video generation, robot control, humanoid robots, and more.
  • Work effectively with a large collaborative team with changing agendas to meet ambitious research goals.
  • Generate creative ideas, set up experiments, and test hypotheses to report and present research findings clearly and efficiently both internally and externally.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
